The Quiet Life Spring 2015 “56th & FIG” Collection

The Quiet Life lift the lid on their latest collection for Spring 2015 and their accompanying lookbook entitled “56th & Fig”.

The lookbook gets its name from the intersection of 56th Avenue and Figueroa Street in the Highland Park district of Los Angeles. This season The Quiet Life have enlisted the services of Dan Monick to produce these minimal visuals which compliment the clean, street ready designs that its showcasing. The collection is lead by several lightweight jacket options including coach jacket and quilted gilet styles, a series of wardrobe staples that we have come to expect from the brand including button-up shirts, long sleeves, hoodies and sweaters, as well as a healthy selection of headwear and several small capsules within the main line release including the Eden pack, Hawaiian pack and another instalment of the on going Camera Club collection. A range of cut and sew, colour blocking and pattern techniques have been applied to add some texture to the release.

We’ve seen a lot of what would be considered the ‘core’ streetwear brands out there continue to develop their ranges and take more of a focus in to cut and sew with more considered graphic pieces. Spring 2015 sees possibly Quiet Life’s most mature selection to date with vibrant hits in all the right places, keeping it simple where they need to. It’s great to see the brand move with the times while still remaining true their roots.

 The Quiet Life Spring 2015 collection is available now at Urban Industry and 5Pointz

Arriving in super limited quantities, the 6 piece collection draws inspiration from the mountains, applying themes to a selection of apparel and accessories. The pack is comprised of a long and short sleeved graphic tee, along with an embroidered pocket tee, featuring an exclusive logo designed specifically for the pack. An exclusive 5-panel constructed from a limited dead stock fabric and nice touches in the Quiet Life compass and caribener/keychain round off the release.

Quiet Life Holiday 2014 “Atwater” Collection

 

LA based streetwear imprint The Quiet Life offer up some stripped back visuals to showcase their latest quick-strike release ready for the Holiday season.

Aligning themes from previous seasonal releases, the Holiday offering continues to apply the brands signature style to a range of street ready basics, as well as some stand out cut and sew pieces. Engaging graphics, all over prints and tie dye treatments can be found on t-shirts, hoodies, headwear and socks. The brands cut and sew department sees two new button down shirts and a hockey jersey added to the collection, with stand out Winter favourites in the Canvas and Garage jacket added to fight off the cold.

One aspect of the Quiet Life’s collections we really enjoy are the mini capsule collections that sit alongside the main line. This release includes a series of photo prints from Camera Club contributor Amanda Marsalis and the ‘Cryptic’ pack by Cody Hudson. These collaborative capsules allow Quiet Life to avoid the mundane and are allowing them to continue to develop their designs and switch it up from time to time. It also gives them a chance to engage with their audience and gets lovers of the brand involved with the collections, as two graphics from the recent ‘Drawing Contest’ are applied to tees.

The Quiet Life X Watershed Collection and Pop-Up Store

 

The Quiet Life join forces with UK based outdoor lifestyle store Watershed to present their ‘Glass and Sew’ collaboration.

Since its inception back in 2011, Watershed store have worked to provide their consumer base with unique product that is hard to find anywhere else, as well as developing their own surf range to fulfil demand for boards made to tackle UK waves. The ‘Glass and Sew’ collaboration combines The Quiet Life’s focus on unique materials and fabrics, with Watershed’s expertise within surfing and surf board design.

Watershed co founders – James Wright & Jake Patterson said this on the collection;

“Working with The Quiet Life has allowed us to take the glass and sew concept a step further. The opportunity to create a full range with such an established and influential brand has been absolutely amazing”.

The collection consists of graphic raglan-sleeved tees and hoodies, as well as cut and sew items in the short sleeve woven shirts and beach shorts. Headwear selections include a printed bucket hat, 5 panel and 6 panel. The collections surf theme is really brought to life through four customer designed surfboard’s two made in the UK and two in California.

Andy Mueller of The Quiet Life had this to say;

“Working with Watershed was great because it was a true collaboration – both Quiet Life and Watershed brought ideas to each other and we worked well together as a group to make each other’s ideas stronger and unified. It was a fun project as it involved all of my favourite things – creating new graphics, developing a unique cut and sew collection, and introducing two new garments to Quiet Life – the beach zip up and the beach shorts”.

To celebrate the collaboration, Watershed will be taking their concept store to London’s Boxpark from the 14th up until the 20th of July. The collection will be sitting alongside Watershed’s own range and The Quiet Life’s latest release.
